Beyonce And Jay-Z Name Oprah Godmother Of Blue Ivy
Wed Jan 25 2012 by Erika Brooks Adickman
Drumroll please. Beyoncé and Jay-Z have reportedly picked the godmother for their daughter Blue Ivy and it's none other than media mogul Oprah Winfrey! (Though, isn't Oprah technically everyone's godmother?) It seems only natural that the girl who will one day run the world — having already become the youngest person to make the Billboard charts — would have the Forbes Celebrity 100's #2 gal to look after her. We imagine Mama O will only read Blue bedtime stories bearing her Book Club's seal of approval, and that this news came as a serious A-Ha moment for Bey's sister Solange and basically-also-her-sister Kelly Rowland. (Sorry ladies.) [Media Take Out]

Thu Jun 2 2011 by Robbie Daw
As we know, Lady Gaga's Born This Way sold a boatload of copies and became her first #1 album this week, thanks to a serious round of public appearances and some eyebrow-raising marketing. But Mother Monster isn't easing up on the promotion just yet. Sirius XM Radio announced today that Rolling Stone's latest cover girl will sit down with Oprah Winfrey's pal Gayle King on June 7 for a live interview between 1 and 2 p.m. EST.

Pint-sized opera singer Jackie Evancho returned to Oprah yesterday for the second (and last) time for the show’s farewell episode. Along with Josh Groban and Patti Labelle, the America’s Got Talent contestant serenaded Mama Oprah a surprise performance of “Somewhere Over The Rainbow” so moving, it could easily be added as the 10th Most Memorable Music Moment in the daytime talk show’s history. See the 11-year-old diva in this exclusive and beyond adorable photo shoot (Ed note: she even poses with puppies, you guys!), and don’t forget, Jackie’s first-ever full-length feature album Dream With Me debuts June 14.

Mon May 23 2011 by Becky Bain
"Oprah, we can run the world!" shouted Beyonce before busting out her 4 single "Run The World (Girls)" on the first part of the talk show host's two-part Farewell Spectacular. After a brilliant, epic performance of the Major Lazer-sampling song at the Billboard Music Awards, Bey, wearing a tuxedo one-piece, officiates an all-girl graduation for a shocked-and-awed Oprah. (Tom Cruise looks pretty entertained, too.) Watch the pop star kill it again by hopping below. More »

If you’re currently suffering from Empty Oprah Syndrome, we’ve got a little dose of Mama O to cure what ails you. For the once auto-tuned daytime host’s upcoming Farewell Spectacular (airing May 23 and 24), the media mogul got a surprise of her own when Beyonce — along with her team of four-eyed back up dancers — took to the stage at Chicago’s United Center for a rocking performance of “Run The World (Girls)”.

Lady Gaga Serenades Oprah With “Born This Way” And “You And I”
Thu May 5 2011 by Robbie Daw
While sitting at a keyboard perched on a giant golden high heel stand designed by her sister Natalie, Lady Gaga belted out a slowed-down version of her smash "Born This Way" on the Oprah Winfrey Show today before launching into "You And I," a track from her upcoming album. (You may have caught American Idol contestant Haley Reinhart crooning the rock ballad last night). We admit, we got a little misty when Gaga began serenading Oprah, who only has 14 more shows to go before her long-running daytime show leaves the air. Watch below!

Katy Perry Joins The PS22 Kids For “Firework” On ‘Oprah’
Tue Mar 1 2011 by Robbie Daw
When it came to choosing an inspirational jam for the PS22 Chorus to belt out, Oprah Winfrey went with Katy Perry's "Firework." (Maybe Pink's "F**kin' Perfect" and Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" were just too scandalous for the elementary kiddies?) But little did O's audience know that the stylish and evolutionary Katy herself would be stepping out on stage to croon her #1 hit along with the Staten Island school children. Watch below.

Jennifer Hudson Makes Oprah Cry At The Kennedy Center Honors
Wed Dec 29 2010 by Becky Bain
While other artists were giving it up for music icon Paul McCartney at the 33rd Annual Kennedy Center Honors, you'd forget that Oprah Winfrey was also being honored in D.C. the same night. (Which marks maybe the first time in history Oprah was upstaged by someone else.) But Forbes' highest-earning celebrity of 2010 was given one amazing tribute by Jennifer Hudson, who came out in a gorgeous dress (and new svelte figure) to sing "I'm Here", from the Oprah-produced Broadway show The Color Purple. Watch J-Hud make Oprah tear up below.

The 7 Best Auto-Tuned Songs Of 2010
Thu Dec 23 2010 by Erika Brooks Adickman
What do rainbows, Australia and water bottles have in common? Through the use Auto-Tune, they've become the subject of viral music videos. 2010 had more than its share of catchy auto-tuned music vids (thanks, home editing software!). And while T-Pain is usually credited with the audio processor’s revival, he isn't on our list (to find his Michael Jackson "P.Y.T." cover you’ll have to look on our 2010's biggest fails). No need to hide your kids or your wives from our picks for the seven Best Auto-Tunes Of 2010 — but you might want to hide it from Kanye West.
